Can the liners be used for directly pumping into? I don't plan to freeze the milk, just store it for a day or so.

Yes. I used this method. http://www.amazon.com/Playtex-Drop-Ins-System-Breast-Storage/dp/B0011UH78G the pieces fit my madela pump and it worked great! Comes with some rings and lids to store in the fridge.

You can pump milk into the liners directly. Moreover, you can store your milk in the liners with porte-sac.

Would be better to store the milk in a breastmilk storage bag. Much more space friendly in your freezer! :)

Unknown, but I guess so. I transferred my milk to bags so I could freeze them flat for better storage and even thawing. We have put them in the dishwasher and refrigerator over night with no issue. Sorry I could not answer your question.

They don't seal on their own. However, playtex makes a breastmilk storage kit. You'd put the liners on a ring then screw the lid on.

I don't see why you can't. The great thing is that you would know exactly how much breast milk you have since it's 1 oz increments. The only downside I can think of is that the trays are really big, meant to store a lot so if you aren't pumping a lot, it's a waste of a lot of space. I guess you could take the lid off at each pumping and pour in the new milk and put it back in the freezer and empty it at the end of the day.

Yes- that is the idea. You attach these to the flanges and pump directly into these. However, I had problems with these leaking. I was carrying them in a cooler and they leaked.(Lost about 10 oz!) Perhaps if you put them directly in the freezer and did not move them- they would be fine. But other reviews had warned about this, and I should have listened.

Never tried that. I use the breastmilk storage bags and medela bottles for that. Good idea though and probably would work. I would check with the manufacturer

I freeze the bag flat at the back of the container then move it to the front to stand up, theres no way the milk will lay flat if you store the bag upright immediately, it will gather at the bottom of the bag, even when I use the plastic insert. I use Medela bags

Yes!!!! I used these for freezing over 600 oz of breastmilk. I didn't store BM in them long term. Once the milk was frozen, I popped the cubes out and stored either in a vacuum sealed bag (highly recommend this for long term), or a zippy freezer bag. Then they were placed in a deep freeze and some stored for up to 5 months. I never had any problem with milk quality. The vacuum sealed bags make the cubes stick together a bit as they are pressed onto one another, especially when stored for a few months, but a quick smack on a counter top broke them up well.

If you had ice packs in with the bags of milk, yes you could do two days. However without ice packs I wouldn't store milk in it for more than a few hours especially in hot temperatures.

Honestly I haven't pumped in almost a year (my son is almost 2) so I don't remember exactly. It was quite a few though, and then once they're frozen you can remove them and store them in the lid and past that I started just putting them in the gallon size ziplock bags -- they stack pretty easy once they are frozen flat -- the ziplock wound up holding enough of the milk bags to contain about 100 oz total. I was putting about 4-6 oz in each milk bag. Honestly, though, once they're frozen they don't need to stay in the container anymore, it's served it's purpose then. :)

Yes, IF YOU PURCHASE THE ADAPTERS (sold separately). These pouches are great for storing and freezing. I had only one pouch break and leak on thawing across 9 months of freezing milk (as opposed to many while using other brands with my first).

i have pumped directly into the liners using the hygeia Q pump. I used the attachment that came in my PAS.

I would not freeze milk in these. You can freeze your milk in storage bags and thaw them to put into the bottles.

This pump only fits the newer wider-mouthed Avent bottles, not the standard ones. I didn't buy all new bottles, though. You can just transfer milk into your container of choice. I haven't ever used bottle liners--do you mean liners like the playtex drop-ins? I don't know how you'd attach them to this pump.

Hi Liv. We do t use the machine at all we just use the frozen liner and mix it by hand. So in our case we would just mix our batch and then put it back in the freezer and I imagine you could get another batch in 15 or so?

Hello! Did you have any response or personal experience using avent pump with liners? I am in the same position and cant find an answer to that. Thanks a lot!
